Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Inks His Contract For Mayweather Fight

[ThePunchingBag]

what does larry bird have to do with the Knicks?

He meant it's like if Lebron didn't want to face the tough Pacers in the ECF because of Larry Bird, instead choosing to face the easier opponent.

Roach still insists Khan and Pac are the only two who can trouble Floyd.

Hunter, Triple G, Roy Jones have said something similar

Hell even Danny Garcia said Khans style will cause Floyd issues, and thats the guy who TKO'd Khan.

You can take what they are all saying with a pinch of salt, but their might be something to it

I think it could have more to do with Floyd taking an opponent lightly for once Floyd will figure he's been fighting the bigger guys at 154 an see Khan as a smaller man but one thing about Khan is his speed brings good power so I think Floyd will be pretty surprised possibly even get stunned by Khan while going for the ko himself put it this why it wouldn't surprise me if Khan beat a 37 yo mayweather

"If he wants to fight Amir Khan then he should sign it."

Who the hell does this guy think he is?

[trufightfanatic]

Hate when Khan makes ****** statements like he's callin shots. As If he's the main attraction. Really hope Richard and Ellerbe are reading these comments. I actually think the fight has the potential to be rather entertaining, I just don't think Khan has earned it, and either way you slice it, the fight will be a very hard sell without Khan getting a significant win under his belt at WW...

I'd be WAAY more intrigued in a Broner vs Khan showdown, been calling for that for the longest.

all of what you said is true imo. But Khan thinks he is a superstar

Last time Floyd had to do a press conference when Manny was on pretty much the worlds mind Floyd introduced himself by saying "Floyd Mayweather only wants to fight the biggest and the best out there, and YES! Manny Pacquiao you're next." He then denied saying that after the Victor Ortiz fight.
Now that Manny is relevant again it will be funny to watch him promote what many think is a bogus fight and try to sidestep Manny and Bob Arum questions.

I'm sure Floyd has final say in his matches. Do things work like Floyd gets the PPV together and Showtime just puts them on their airwaves? Does Showtime have the right to say we don't want this event?

Team Maidana announced they have gotten anything from Floyd, contact or contract.

Khan on the meanwhile signed his.... so it's probably Khan....

yeah then he went to offer him the fight but we can leave that part out.

If Khan was confident it was him it would be no point of saying I have signed the contract. All he would have to do is sit back and wait for the offical announcement. He knows its good chance it won't be him anymore a Golden Boy fighter trainer has said he got a email saying it's Maidana. But we will see in a couple of weeks.

British fighter Amir Khan has announced he has signed a contract that could see him fight WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the new year.

The 27-year-old, a former world champion and 2004 Olympic silver medallist, is waiting to learn whether Mayweather wants the fight.
